Re: One Pace

The only gripe I have with the project is that episodes are longer than the average 23-24 minute range. I know you guys have discussed this amongst yourselves repeatedly for years and came to the unanimous decision to let episodes run longer.
That's just my preference to have the episodes fit closer to a more "official" anime recut.

Besides that, please keep up the good work!

We actually did, at one point, worry about the run-time. It ended up making the project a worse product in the end, though. We'd try to cut things that would never work naturally, and it created many instances of bad cuts musically and logically.

Sometimes Toei's pacing does allow for 2 chapters to fit into the 24 minute (or less) timeframe. But yeah, we've stuck to focusing on a strict "at least 2 chapters per episode", because in the end, the actual pacing of the content matters much more to us than the run-time these days. That, and we never want to take the Toei approach and end an episode mid-chapter, which can make or break a cliffhanger depending on what's adapted. On that note, the times we've done 3 chapters in 1 episode are usually because the ending of the third chapter wouldn't work as the halfway point of a normal 2 chapter paced episode.

I sometimes like to think of the episodes being like a Netflix series. Sometimes they can run the usual allotted time-frame, and sometimes they can go a bit over, or way over, depending on the content of the episode being created.

I only feel bad about it when it's just 2 episodes being cut together, and the run-time remains over 30 minutes. That usually only happens when the episodes are super content heavy, though.

Re: One Pace

This probably has been answered already, but I didn't see it in the first few pages and I don't want to read over 100 pages .

Are there any plans to do the Baratie and Arlong park arcs? If so when?

I have a friend who initially didn't want to watch one piece because of the overwhelming episode count, but after I discovered this abridged version, he said he'd watch it with me. He just wouldn't be getting very far as of currently, so I thought I'd ask.

Yeah, if it were up to me we'd just watch the anime, but I was only able to convince him after promising that I had found a more condensed version. I guess we'll start it anyway and hopefully by the time we get to usopp's arc, he wont mind watching the regular anime for the next two arcs.

While I realize arcs prior had slow pacing and whatnot and could benefit from "One Pace", personally I didn't start really noticing an issue that bugged me with the anime until Thriller Bark, however it wasn't until the time-skip that things just completely seemed to grind to a halt and made the anime unbearable to watch.

Re: One Pace

I started watching One Piece when it aired on Cartoon Network and It hooked me not just because it was an anime and but because I was a dumb Naru-tard that didn't know where to find anime that wasn't on CN. lol
Please don't hold my terrible childhood tastes against me I've grown I swear.
But back to my train of thought while Bleach had style and good action it lacked charm, and while Naruto had moments of great action (looking at you Rock Lee ;) ) and some genuinely heart-wrenching moments (looking at you Haku ;_; ) it was held down by too much of "THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP CONQUERS ALL!" that made it chore to sit through partway through Shippuden.
But One piece had it all lovable characters, a universe dense with detail, great stories, heartwarming and heart-crushing scenes, grand action, the coolest and weirdest powers that I've seen, and not even the living nightmare of the Dub that shall not be named could keep it down, but the pace did.
I loved One Piece but I couldn't help but feel I was wasting so much of my time on how it was structured. It became a chore to manually skip the opening, recap and watching too many seconds of *stares*... THIS ISN'T TWILIGHT!
I eventually dropped all three of the Big 3 after watching them off and on for a while and didn't plan to go back given the way shows like Overlord, My Hero Academia, Konosuba, and others are released on a yearly basis that doesn't waste your time, keep a good standard of animation and are able to deliver a satisfying season finale that appropriately leaves you wanting more.
Now finally my point, You magnificent people of the One Pace team have given me back the passion to continue the series, Thank you so much!
I wish you all the best to see the project through.
